Bulding KDE applications

rp181 · 2010-05-13 23:31:01

I am trying to compile KFreeFlight (A FlightGear frontend), but getting stuck at "./configure".

When i run "./configure --with-qt-dir=/opt/qt" , it works until...

checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE libraries installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!

What do i do?

Remove "--with-qt-dir=/opt/qt"

Or install QT.

By the way, kfreeflight is in the AUR.

Without the "--with-qt-dir=/opt/qt":

checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.2 and < 4.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.

With it:

checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for Qt... libraries /opt/qt/lib, headers /opt/qt/include using -mt
checking for moc... /opt/qt/bin/moc
checking for uic... /opt/qt/bin/uic
checking whether uic supports -L ... yes
checking whether uic supports -nounload ... yes
checking if Qt needs -ljpeg... no
checking for rpath... yes
checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE libraries installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!

Took me forever, but found another thread that said to add that in order for configure to be able to find the Qt libraries.

(>= Qt 3.2 and < 4.0)

It looks as if it needs qt3, not qt4 (just qt in arch's pacman I believe). Do you have the necessary qt3 libraries installed along with the qt4 ones you have with kde4?

You'd need kde3 for this outdated application.

Ok, i got the configure sorted out...kind of. I get

checking for mcopidl... not found
configure: error: The important program mcopidl was not found!
Please check whether you installed aRts correctly or use
--without-arts to compile without aRts support (this will remove functionality).

So i added the --without-arts options, and the configuration completes succesfully. When i run make, i get:
